IPOV

I could hear the music before we got the house. Actually, I'm surprised all of New York couldn't hear the music.

Jace pulled his car into an open spot near the house and we both stepped out pausing for a second to look over everything.

Aline was with her soccer friends in the front. Her blonde hair curled along with her pink sun dress that made her look girly-er than usual. Alec was talking to Magnus Bane as they headed into the house.

"Meet you back here in a few hours?" I asked. Jace nodded curtly before beginning the walk to the front door. I followed after him; I really needed a drink.

When I pushed the door open and shoved my way into the kitchen and most of the cheer team came running up to me.

"Izzy! There you are," A freshman, named Jessamine, gushed. The others behind her giggled, obviously tipsy. I smiled at them.

"I am in desperate need of a drink!"

They parted like the red sea just long enough for me to grab two shots, swallow those and grab a bottle of tequila from the counter.

"Long night?" A senior named Hannah asked raising a blonde eyebrow. I put the tequila bottle to my lips and drank half of it before answering.

"Long year."

In retrospect downing half of bottle of tequila was probably not the smartest thing to do, especially because after that was when the party really got going.

I threw my hands in the air and screamed as I spun wildly in a circle.

"Izzy! Izzy! Izzy!"

That's me! I took a second to process that I was so drunk even my thoughts seemed slurred before screaming again and returning to dancing on the table.

Mimi was watching with a smirk below. "Mimi!" I screamed jumping off the table and running over to her; or tripping over to her.

"Honey, how much have you had to drink?" She asked peeling my fifth shot from my hand and downing it herself.

I giggled and tried to remember. "Well . . . There were the two shots earlier . . ." I slurred.

"And?"

"The tequila," I said but it sounded more like tikiwilia.

"And then the two bottle of beer the nice boy gave me!" I gushed happily. I was really happy. I wanted to dance and kiss that boy over there.

I tilted my head to the side and watched him. "Mimi! Who's . . . that?" I yelled trying to point in the boy's direction, but I couldn't see straight.

Her blonde eyebrows hit her hairline. "I am cutting you off. That's your brother!"

My brother.

"I have a brother!"I said. Mimi sighed but nodded her head before grabbing my arm and dragging me my brother direction.

JPOV

I really wanted to get drunk.

Actually "wanted" isn't the right word; I needed to get drunk. If I got drunk enough this whole god damn night might fade away.

I was just about to shove my way to the kitchen to get a drink when I saw Mimi dragging Isabelle my way. Her hair was all over the place and she was sweating and giggling.

I was mildly concerned about the latter. Isabelle didn't giggle, or really laugh for that matter. Not anymore anyways.

"Jace!" She screamed when she got closer. She threw her arms around me and embraced me in a hug.

"Jace, tell Mimi that I can hold my liquor!" Isabelle demanded. I quirked an eyebrow in her direction. The sentence sounded more like Jace well Miwi twat I cah hol my liquor!

"Can you take her somewhere?" Mimi shouted over the music. Some boys walked pass winking at Izzy and making a few rude gestures. Isabelle winked back and pushed away from us, getting ready to follow the boys.

"Oh, no," I said grabbing her wrist. Mimi nodded her head but her eyes were watching something else before she walked away without another word.

Isabelle pouted before tilting her head to the side. "You," she started before giggling, "have blonde hair."

"Ok, Iz. You are going home. Now," I said nodding my head in Sebastian's direction before mouthing "bye" as I began to shove through the crowd to get to my car.

People nodded their heads in my direction as I passed. A few girls even threw their arms over me and told me that there was an empty room upstairs.

On any other night I would have dropped Isabelle off with Alec or some other sober person and left her to fend for herself. But not tonight.

I ignored everyone as Isabelle giggled at people's hair colors and the way their faces were twisting and turning.

Alec was talking to some random dude in very tight jeans and a bright purple shirt when he looked up and saw us. His brow furrowed as she watched me drag Isabelle.

"Is she ok?" he yelled. The bright dude turned his head to face us with an annoyed expression.

"Maggie!" Isabelle screamed throwing her arms over the boy's shoulders. He shuddered and pushed her off lightly.

"Isabelle, darling, you know what happens when you drink this much?" he said lightly.

Isabelle seemed to sober up instantly after he said that. "I think I'm going to be sick," she stated before running out the front door.

I glanced at Alec and we exchanged a look before I followed after her.

My phone went off in my pocket just as I laid my eyes on her puking form. I froze as my hand went automatically to my back pocket. I shook off the fear and grabbed it.

Poor Izzy! Remember that night I was wasted? Have fun playing Prince Charming, again.
XoXo,
C.

I suddenly felt like puking as the words from the message sunk in.

"I am not that drunk!" Clary said stomping her foot on the ground as she walked.

I laughed as we turned another corner. "Yes, and that's why you were two seconds away from making out with the wall earlier."

She groaned, he face flushed. I watched carefully, she was sobering up.

"Jace . . ."

"Mhmm," I said only half paying attention, as I avoided a puddle. It had poured all day and the street was still covered in water.

"Why did you offer to take me home?"

I looked up and met Clary's eyes. She didn't look drunk anymore.

"Because I'm your knight in shining armour," I said with a smirk. I knew she hated all that fairytale and princess stuff.

She smiled and her eyes lit up. "You know what that means though?"

"No." I answered confused.

She smiled and kept walking without saying another word. We finally rounded the corner to our houses when she turned and faced me so she was walking backwards.

"Figured it out yet?" She asked mischievously. I shook my head and racked my brain for an answer as we started up her driveway.

She turned around and bounded up the stairs quickly. I followed after her still confused. She leaned against the front of the door and tilted her head to the side; watching me.

I took a few steps closer to her. "Are you going to tell me or am I just going to have to spend all night wondering what the hell you're talking about?"

"Well," Clary started, "In every fairytale there's the knight in shining armour or Prince Charming."

I nodded slightly amused as she continued.

"The princess and one more thing."

"Ok; so I'm Prince Charming," I said with a wink, "And you're the Princess."

Clary nodded her eyes following mine. "And I thought you were smart."

I chuckled and thought for a few more seconds before it hit me.

"Well there's always the bad guy, evil witch, or whatever." I said watching her carefully. She shook her head and pursed her lips.

"True, but wrong."

"Ok, I'm officially lost."

Clary smiled and motioned for me to come closer. I bent my head down so I was closer to her.

She didn't say anything for a few seconds. I was about to ask her to tell me what the hell I was missing when she kissed me.


I know it's been awhile! But Summer is now here and I'm typing as fast as I can!

Review and let me know what you think :)
